pickAs the week of comps draws to a close I can only say how thankful I am. My friends & family (including Litsy fam) all came together to support me while I took these exams. The culmination of a year‘s worth of work, compiling lists & reading them, feels unreal ♥️
That said, this book by Roy Porter is heartbreaking & comprehensive. Anyone planning to study psychology should give it a read. Also anyone struggling with madness, like PhD students! 😆
Read some books from my Auible Shelf, Physical Shelf and Kindle Shelf 🖤🖤

pickThis book blew me away. It was so sad to read how we at times violate the rights of others - I know I work in this field and its hard sometimes to navigate through the ethical delemas we go through.
1. So far so good. I'm halfway through the day.
2. I follow some Facebook groups on mental health. I follow one person by newsletter/blogs. But she's been mostly selling her stuff the last year so I can't do that.
I'm about to walk into one of my happy places. 😊

In 2013, my mom recommend me to read this book after I finish reading Fifty Shades of Grey. What an incredible book and many years ago, my mom told me that she met the author of this book.
pickAmazing. I highly recommend for fans of true crime & mental health. Dr Adshead is a forensic psychiatrist &works w/criminals. She introduces the idea of compassion & humanity, delving into the psychology & humanizing these patients that we often label as unredeemable.
It‘s a difficult read at times. I can‘t say I felt empathy or even sympathy for all of them; however, I learned a lot & gained a better understanding of those who commit crimes.
"There is something I don't know
that I'm supposed to know.
I don't know what it is I don't know,
and yet I'm supposed to know,
and I feel stupid
if I seem both to not know it
and not know what it is I don't know.
Therefore I pretend to know it.
This is nerve-racking
since I don't know what I must pretend to know.
Therefore I pretend to know everything."
? R. D. Laing
